Cunt vs Twat

[staci]

When I write my stories. The highest I will go is pussy.  I use it to pack a punch in the scene or sentence. Inuse very general terms as I said in a different thread that I rather talk the parts of the whole.  Most common in my stories I will just say her, entrance, mound, sex. 

When I want It to stick i say something simple like drove his cock deep into her pussy

Stand out against the rest of my story.

How about "she licked the soft petals of my flower, firm but yet gentle strokes with the flat of her warm tongue"

Replace the "she/her" with "he/his" and I could see that in one of my writings.

Still working on my first woman in woman scene.

Hmm...woman in woman? Different.

One ex friend calls it the YOO HOO.

(heavy on the EX part)

I had a friend who was a nurse call it "hoo hoo", she even used the term with kid patients when speaking with them.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say the word Tw@t.  Ever.  I must have heard it somewhere though because I know its use.  I've read it hundreds of times in stories here though.

In the UK, "twat" is generally used as a derogatory term (with heavy connotations of idiocy, as per Miss B's etymological posting), but it also means "hit".

During an escalating argument, you might hear a bystander declare "twat him one!", meaning "punch him, hard".

In an construction context; "I can't get this beam to fit in this gap!" (colleague passes over mash hammer) "just twat it" (my son, a trainee engineer turned boat-builder, says "pursue percussive maintenance - just twat it until it works").

Then there are other terms used in erotic stories which I'm not sure about where they fall on the scale of being offensive, coarse or vulgar, such as 'quim' and 'muff' and 'snatch'.

nope, nope, nope

Good to know. How about box, mound, slit, treasure, or jewel. Any of those wrinkle your nose?

Haven't heard hoo-hoo, but even network television allows hoo-haw.

Box?  Never understood that.  Don't like.  It's too hard sounding.

Slit is okay I guess.

Treasure or jewel?  Are those actually names for a female hoo-hoo?  Nope & nope.   But they're not offensive if you decide to use them.


A boyfriend way back when used to call it 'Wonderland'.    It was also the name of a movie theater in a neighboring town.   When he would tell me he wanted to go to wonderland, I never knew if we were going to the movies or parking.

I remember "box" being used back in the early '60s. No idea how that got started.

I had a tape of a rowdy song from back then by a group that called themselves Hot Nuts.

Lyrics consisted of not much more than repeating the line: " Baby, baby, let me bang your box!"

Tops the list of tasteless things I've heard over the years. Society was still very uptight and restrictive then. Before hippies and Viet Nam, so it was "naughty fun".

My cousin and her daughter call it a "duney".  I hate it.  Makes me cringe every time either of them say it, think they got it from her husband's side because nobody I know in my family calls it that.

19. Vulgar Slang The vulva and the vagina.

Still listed in the dictionary. I remember hearing the word used also. Could have been in the 60s.

Also, for a year abroad, all expenses paid, also in the 60s, I had heard it called "poo-tang".

I've seen some delicate flowers and none of them had the capability to pass a small person through them.

I'm a strong believer that words are not offensive on their own and any word can be offensive in a certain context and with a certain intent behind it. I've also learned that Ireland has perhaps the most colourful approach to language in the English speaking world and the US is much more precious about certain words, much moreso than even the UK. For me in particular, I use words like cunt freely in my personal life, as do most of the people close to me. It's a word that has some power with certain people and in certain situations, but to me, in general it's no more inappropriate than fuck or shit or any number of other words broadly deemed vulgar.

If we're talking specifically about using cunt in reference to vaginas, I think I've only ever done that with a sexual partner, which is hardly revelatory information, I know. In my experience, most women have some kind of strong feelings about it. Either it would be a deal breaker or it's a major turn on. If a partner uses the word during sex then that's a heavy hint to me that they would like to hear it too.

I don't think there is a good word for a vagina. All the words I know have qualities that just make them not feel right, to me. Vagina is too clinical, cunt is too harsh and all the euphemistic allusions people use are just ridiculous. I've seen some delicate flowers and none of them had the capability to pass a small person through them.

Thanks, those are brilliant insights. At one point when I was a teenager, some Irish cousins came for a visit, and they seemed to use the word "feck" in every sentence.

You're spot on about Americans. We have a hardcore Puritan streak that's been around for 400 years (in fact, 400 years almost to the day), and despite enormous changes in our society, it's still very much present.

Since Watcher specifically asked, in my post above I noted that Shakespeare used the word "cunt" in one of his plays. I was wrong: He used it in two of his plays:

In Act III, Scene 2 of "Hamlet," Hamlet is having a conversation with Ophelia, and Ophelia clearly doesn't pick up in her erstwhile boyfriend's word play:

HAMLET: Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

OPHELIA: No, my lord.

HAMLET: I mean, my head upon your lap?

OPHELIA: Ay, my lord.

HAMLET: Do you think I meant country matters?

OPHELIA: I think nothing, my lord.

HAMLET: That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.

OPHELIA: What is, my lord?

HAMLET: Nothing.

Pretty racy for 1609, right?

In "Twelfth Night," a comedy based where mistaken gender identity plays a large role, there's a scene in Act II, Scene 5 when the Puritanical Count Malvolio reads a letter purportedly from his mistress (but actually written by Sir Toby Belch and his wisenhheimer friends in order to make fun of Malvolio. Malvolio reads the letter and exclaims:

By my life, this is my lady's hand these be her very C's, her U's and her T's and thus makes she her great P's. It is, in contempt of question, her hand.

So, C - U - aNd - T. And in the same sentence, for those who didn't get it, he notes it's the place where she "Ps."

Apparently, Shakespeare believed some audience members wouldn't get it, so in the next line, he has the rather dim-witter Andrew repeat:

Her C's, her U's and her T's: why that?

I'm sure that had them rolling in the aisles in the Globe Theatre.

Thank you, MissB. Sexual innuendos were prevalent in early literature, probably to the disgust of the puritans. Nowadays, innuendos have been replaced with in your face sexual descriptions.

It's called "Twitch" today.

And here I've been referring to guy's testicles as his "coin purse"  makes more sense to me.
